Ukraine, which geographically and historically has always lain on the transition of global geopolitical interests, trade and economic ways, and civilization-forming processes, appeared in the spotlight of radical world- wide changes. It is one of the flashpoints in Eurasian terrains, where mo- dernity transforms and the future of global relations is being born. Unfortunately, humanistic principles of solving civilizational crises and crucial contradictions in the global redistribution of spheres of interest often yield to power methods, which, under modern conditions, acquire hybrid form and total features. Ever since the declaration of its indepen- dence and sovereignty, the state of Ukraine – as the subject of internation- al community—has permanently been on the periphery of opposition be- * Translated by Victoria Kalyna. 6 tween West and East and remained an object of potential struggle between the giants of global geopolitics: USA and Europe (NATO and EU), on the one hand, and Russia, on the other. This opposition culminated in the 2014 aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine and vividly testified the imperial revanchist nature of Moscovia, which, under the conditions and 20th-century realia, seems completely anachronistic. The victory of the Revolution of Dignity, which the Kremlin political strategists had hypothetically assumed and feared, brought to naught the entire many-year effort of Russia to conquer Ukraine in a hybrid creeping manner and transform it into Russia’s satellite state with the controlled President and dummy politicians. However, the President of the Russian Federation V. Putin, as well as the Russian political establishment, did not only refuse to admit the proved fact that Ukraine had started its separation from the peri-Moscow civilization orbit but also couldn’t (due to their narrowed vision) realize a new geopolitical reality. Putin treated that as his personal offence and failure as well as a challenge for Russia itself, a permanent threat to its future existence from both the neoimperial perspective and the point of danger: its megasubjectivity could turn into historical retrospective. Objective reality proves the disappointing result: this war is for Ukraine and its nation not only the visionary conflict or clash of civilizations but also a fight for the right of existence in the full and impressive meaning of these words. Onset of the undeclared war of the Russian Federation against Ukraine is an unconcealed aggression against the sovereign independent state and the demonstrative violation of international norms. It is absolutely obvious that Putin’s Russia is not only an aggressor but also a terrorist state threatening European and global security. Consequently, the entire civilized world (Christians and Muslims, Buddhists and Jews, atheists, politicians, and businessmen) must realize that, the mask of the so-called managed democracy of the Russian Federation is a monster of ochlocratic tyranny in disguise. It is a political (and not exclusively) maniac-pervert that had enwreathed the impoverished nations of his Khanate with ferrets of ignorance, fear, and lie to keep poisoning them with all-encompassing hatred and arrogance, nurtured by the subliminal and incomprehensible desire to remain in their miserable, animal-like state. He aims for destruction. His hunger doesn’t have any life or political logic; it cannot be rationally explained. It is an instinct, uncontrolled desire to destroy and 7 enslave, subconscious aspiration to not only nullify the millennia-old human values and cohabitation rules but also an attempt to master, deride, and emasculate the essence, the goals, and the missions of world civilizations. Global community must understand that Putin’s Moscovia is an aggressor state by nature, that Putin’s empire doesn’t only sponsor terrorism but is a terrorist state itself. To crown it all, this insane, miserable, and insatiable organism is headed by the one who aims to redivide the world according to his imperial hallucinations caused by his sick imagination. Russia is trying to plunge the mankind in chaos and despair as well as implant it the virus of moral and virtue fall. The plague of decay, which is to provide the Kremlin with the possibility to spread its lies, fears, and ignorance through its and its satraps’ rule, can approximate the end, which will be ruled by sin, fear, and darkness, permanent war, poverty, and weeping over blood and losses… Ukraine is now hindering the implementation of these world-hating intentions. Today it confronts the newly-built empire of evil and will break the ice for its fall. Thus, the world (people of various opinions and religions, states with different political and social systems, etc.) must unite around Ukraine to save themselves and civilization advancement by accelerating the death of the dragon of sufferings and razing to the ground the new empire of evil! Oleg CHYRKOV ETHNIC FACTOR IN THE PRECONDITIONS AND CONSEQUENCES OF THE AGGRESSION OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION AGAINST UKRAINE 9 Chapter 1 Oleg CHYRKOV (Research fellow of the Department of Ukrainian Ethnology Research Institute of Ukrainian Studies, Kyiv) ETHNIC FACTOR IN THE PRECONDITIONS AND CONSEQUENCES OF THE AGGRESSION OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION AGAINST UKRAINE Estimation of the ethnic factor in the russian aggression against Ukraine necessary for mitigation of threats and their prevention in the future. The recent expansion of Moscow to the southwest is taking place today according to two territorial vectors: the Crimean peninsula and the strip of urban agglomerations of Donetsk and Luhansk regions – the least consolidated territorial parts of the modern Ukrainian nation. In our opinion, among the true reasons for the weak consolidation of the citizens of these regions are the following ones: 1) remote, peripheral geographical location (far from the capital) with powerful regional centers; 2) historically conditioned (in the conditions of the Russian Empire and the USSR) ethnic- cultural russification, sovietization and communization of a large proportion of

  • Bab I Pendahuluan
    BAB I PENDAHULUAN I.1. LATAR BELAKANG MASALAH Kawasan Pantai Utara Jakarta merupakan kawasan strategis bagi DKI Jakarta, baik sebagai ibukota provinsi sekaligus sebagai ibukota negara. Areal sepanjang pantai sekitar 32 km tersebut merupakan pintu gerbang dari arah laut, dengan berbagai aktivitas masyarakat dan pembangunan yang sangat beragam, termasuk objek-objek vital yang ada di kawasan tersebut. Oleh sebab itu hal yang wajar apabila, Pantai Utara Jakarta ditetapkan sebagai Kawasan Strategis Provinsi dan hal ini juga sesuai dengan Undang-Undang Nomor 26 tahun 2007 tentang Penataan Ruang (Pasal 10 Ayat 1) yang mengatur bahwa setiap provinsi berwenang untuk menetapkan Kawasan Strategis Provinsi maka berdasarkan RTRW Provinsi DKI Jakarta 2030, Pantai Utara Jakarta ditetapkan sebagai Kawasan Strategis Provinsi. Kawasan Pantai Utara (Pantura) pada awalnya dikategorikan sebagai Kawasan Andalan, yaitu kawasan yang mempunyai nilai strategis dipandang dari sudut pandang ekonomi dan perkembangan kota, berdasarkan Keppres Nomor 17 tahun 1994. Upaya untuk mewujudkan fungsi Kawasan Pantai Utara Jakarta sebagai Kawasan Andalan, dapat dilakukan melalui reklamasi pantai utara sekaligus menata ruang daratan pantai yang ada secara terarah dan terpadu, merupakan nomenklatur dari ditetapkannya Keppres Nomor 52 tahun 1995 tentang Reklamasi Pantai Utara Jakarta. Berdasarkan Peraturan Gubernur DKI Jakarta Nomor 121 Tahun 2012 Tentang Penataan Ruang Kawasan Reklamasi Pantai Utara Jakarta yang dikeluarkan oleh Gubernur pada saat itu adalah Gubernur Fauzi Bowo yaitu pada tanggal 19 September 2012 menjelaskan bahwa Proyek Reklamasi Pantai Utara Jakarta atau yang dikenal dengan Mega Proyek Giant Sea Wall merupakan proyek pembuatan 17 pulau di kawasan teluk Jakarta. Dalam Peraturan Gubernur tersebut juga tercantum rencana kependudukan, rencana 1 UPN "VETERAN" JAKARTA 2 sistem pengelolaan limbah, rencana sistem pembangkit listrik dan ketersediaan air bersih serta berbagai rencana sistem lainnya.

  • Reconstructive Forgery: the Hadiach Agreement (1658) in the History of the Rus'
    Journal of Ukrainian Studies 35–36 (2010–2011) Reconstructive Forgery: The Hadiach Agreement (1658) in the History of the Rus' Serhii Plokhy Few events in Ukrainian and Polish history have provoked as many what-ifs as the agreement concluded between the Cossack hetman Ivan Vyhovsky and representa- tives of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth near the city of Hadiach in the autumn of 1658. Long before the rise of virtual and counterfactual history, historians in Poland and Ukraine defied the maxim of positivist historiography—that history has no subjunctive mood—and plunged into speculation on how differently the history of both countries would have turned out if, instead of fighting prolonged and exhausting wars, Poland-Lithuania and the Hetmanate had reunited in a new and reformed Com- monwealth. Would this have stopped the decline of Poland, the ruin of Ukraine, Ottoman interventions, and the rise of Muscovy as the dominant force in the region? The Union of Hadiach, as the agreement became known in historiography, had the potential to influence all these processes. It envisioned the creation of a tripartite Commonwealth—the Kingdom of Poland, the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, and a Principality of Rus', with the Cossack hetman as its official head. The union was the culmination of the activities of moderate forces among the Polish and Ukrainian elites and the embodiment of the hopes and dreams of the Ruthenian (Ukrainian and Bela- rusian) nobility of the first half of the seventeenth century. Nevertheless, the com- promise that the union embodied was rejected by mainstream forces on both sides. The Commonwealth Diet ratified the text of the treaty with a number of important omis- sions, but even in that form it was viewed with suspicion and rejected by the Polish nobiliary elites, which could not reconcile themselves to the prospect of Orthodox Cossacks enjoying equal rights with Catholic nobles.
